3 Disturbing TRUE Hacker Horror Stories

[Music] the topic of today's video has to do with computer hackers specifically stories recounted by victims of computer hackers and this video happens to be sponsored by atlas vpn an app that encrypts your data and hides your virtual location online which makes it harder for people like the hackers you'll hear about in this video to figure out where you are what you're doing on the internet and collecting personal data of yours at the moment atlas vpn is the cheapest vpn provider that's able to protect you as well as unlock worldwide libraries of services that could usually be blocked by regional barriers such as netflix amazon prime disney plus and more and it's able to do this by allowing you to change your location to another country so for example if the region in which you live doesn't have a specific title that's available to a different region you can use atlas vpn to change your location to make that title available to you unlike other vpns which may be clunky and confusing to navigate the user interface for atlas vpn is very simple and user friendly atlas vpn strives to provide easy and accessible privacy and does not log user activity while they're connected to their servers check the link in the description for more info [Music] back when i was 17 my friend told me about this deep web drug website called dream market it was where he bought things like weed and adderall he had what he referred to as a trusted dealer whose information he sent me to buy from i don't condone doing anything like this i was simply just young and stupid i thought buying adderall would help me with my senior projects anyway i went about doing that however this purchase made me intrigued to continue browsing dream market and seeing what else one could buy and i saw this range from counterfeit bills to real guns this got me more intrigued to view more of the deep web i found some links somewhere on dream market that led to i guess what was a drug chat room because it was just a lot of people seemingly advertising the drugs they were selling in their rates i found it interesting some people would post random dot onion links and i clicked on one it brought me to a black page with the title home base at top in large text underneath were a bunch of other random links i clicked on a bunch of them most never loaded probably being dead links a couple loaded one was another chat room this one didn't have a title there were like three usernames signed into the room all random looking just like the assortment of random letters i inputted just because i didn't care the chat's previous history showed a few people were talking in another language then another guy was typing in english that guy was still in the chat room and actually before i typed anything he typed yo directed at me i typed yo back he said what you looking for i typed back i don't know lol he asked how i found that link and i told him just from some site called home base i asked if he had any cool links as it was my first time on the deep web he types back lol then sent a link he didn't say anything else i clicked the link and it took a little while to load the page it loaded the black background first then a little text box near the bottom and the last thing that loaded was a video at first i thought it was like a possible video but it looked to be some kind of live streaming video the video was black and white and it was of a dark room with some mannequin looking things sitting in a wooden chair there was this grainy effect to the footage that made it feel more surreal and unnerving i genuinely couldn't tell if i was watching a live video or not then as if it were some kind of movie jump scare what i thought was a mannequin in that chair suddenly jumped up and sprinted towards the camera and a loud staticy screaming sound accompanied it the apparent porcelain mask that the person was wearing was so close up on the camera at that point that all i could see was black i went back to the chat and asked that guy what the hell this was he replied just keep watching lol and then he left the chat i went back to the other ted and the video or live stream window was gone it was now just a blank screen with the text box on the bottom the text box didn't let me type anything though my tor browser window suddenly closed without my doing then a deep raspy voice was coming from my speakers with someone obviously trying to disguise their voice the voice said my first name and claimed they had all my files then the webcam window popped up and i saw my face on the screen i turned off my laptop and went to the geek squad at best buy where i bought the computer the guy i spoke to his guest was that he was able to somehow get the basic info off my computer like my account name he recommended i factory reset the computer he helped me with the process i didn't have anything i was worried about losing on there anyway it was a relatively new computer if you're ever on the deep web i heavily recommend using some kind of vpn even for the alleged safe websites [Music] i'm 24 years old and i'm from a small town called yarmouth in nova scotia canada i keep my social circle very small just my few friends and my co-workers really i mentioned that as a point in saying i don't really know anyone who would be out to get me in any way i browse reddit a lot in my free time i'm an active poster there was this one night when i pulled up reddit on my browser out of boredom that i had a new message not unusual as i'd have people messaging me in reference to my posts quite often it was a message request from some random account a now deleted username the message said check your email your spam folder specifically i replied back huh why who's this in the meantime i opened up my gmail and went to the spam folder there was one email that stuck out from the rest titled in all caps i know who you are i opened the email and it was basically a paragraph full of my personal information including my full name my reddit password my home address along with threats basically whoever sent the email was asking for a one-time payment of five thousand dollars through bitcoin to a specific bitcoin wallet address my heart was basically in my throat i had that terrible feeling of helplessness and like the entire world was collapsing in on me the first thing i did was cover my webcam with a piece of tape secondly i went back to reddit to see if the user ever answered my message they did not i went to report the account on reddit as quick as i could as if that would even do anything though i replied to the email copy-pasting the exact message i sent to the reddit account asking who this was how they got that information and if this was a prank i got an email back around five minutes later in all capitals saying no it's not a prank we have all your information including where you live so your best course of action is to do as we say and you'll never hear from us again obviously i was not gonna shell out five thousand dollars i don't even make a lot of money to begin with i contacted all of my friends asking if it was any of them like begging them to just come forward now before i call the police none of them admitted to it so given that i threatened calling the police i knew it wasn't any of them i tried to think of anyone at work who might have issues with me but really i get along with everyone at work i chalked it up to my password somehow being stolen by malware or a hacker and through that they somehow got the rest of my information the main question was do i pay the money and that was absolutely not happening i forced myself to go to sleep and left my laptop off the whole next day i used my desktop instead after getting home from work i didn't sign in to reddit or anything though i did however change my password on all other websites and apps on my phone i finally signed into my laptop late that night because i was just so bored and curious curious but nervous to see if anything had changed and if i'd gotten any new emails i signed on and everything on my computer still looked normal so i went to reddit and saw the user who messaged me was now deleted so i went to a subreddit which talked about computer hackers and scams and such and i posted my experience at some point i noticed the task bar at the bottom of the screen turned darker curious i minimized all my windows and my desktop wallpaper was different i knew right away what it was though i recognized the outside of my bedroom window the white frame of the outside windowsill was in the picture the flash of the camera also caught me laying in my bed sleeping some seconds later a pop-up window appeared along with the windows error sound inside the pop-up arrow window was a message saying the word pay with a winking face following it i closed my laptop screen and forced the computer off by holding the power button i also pulled my blinds down and called my parents it was still early enough to do so i told my dad over the phone that some hacker had my info and he came right over with his truck to help me load any valuables i could think of into his truck to stay with them for a while before we drove off from my apartment my dad yelled like a madman into the night sky basically threatening whoever was hacking me it was definitely a scene but i was too preoccupied with worry to be embarrassed by it i stayed with my parents for weeks and used my mom's computer when needed i blocked that email address that sent me the original email i finally got back to my apartment a few days ago i'm still scared every night to hear a knock at my window or get another threatening email i haven't brought it to the police yet as i'm hoping it's all just a bluff still to get me to pay i'm also hoping it's over and that they've given up [Music] my name is miranda i'm 25. i've had my share of experiences with stalkers and men harassing me social media has made that far too easy these days i once got a suspicious email that i should have known better than to open it was asking me to click a link to some random page because i was being sued by some random company i clicked the link and soon after that my computer started acting all glitchy and unresponsive even after restarting it multiple times it was just laggy and slow and random sound effects would play once in a while i was certain my computer had a virus but i wasn't sure to what extent it would go just yet the next day i had a bunch of friends texting me what's up with that instagram post and asking if i was the one who even posted it i panicked and opened instagram but i was logged out of my account someone was hacking me this confirmed it if they had my instagram password i had no idea what else they could have apparently the picture posted on my instagram was some stupid cartoon meme it was extremely embarrassing minutes of freaking out later my snapchat started blowing up it was from some random account that just added me they were spamming me to snapchat call them so i did when they picked up i saw like a quarter of someone's face it looked like a young guy in his twenties i could tell he was smiling that was the creepy thing the way he said hello was so long and stretched out i was pretty frantic asking what he wanted in return for my instagram back he started telling me some really creepy [ __ ] he said he sees me every day and that he thinks i'm really pretty and that this was the only way he'd get my attention i didn't know what to say he said he'd give me my account back if i would just be his digital girlfriend as creepy and weird as this was i said yes in a heartbeat just to get my stuff back he told me the password to get back onto my instagram account as soon as i changed the password i set my profile to private and put a story up saying that wasn't me i was hacked i asked this guy for his name and what other info he had on me he said i could just call him john and that he could get all the information about me that he wanted he said this with a smile too i could see it in the fourth of his face that he would actually show he refused to show the rest i played nice the whole time knowing this guy's a sicko i managed to get him off the call by telling him i'd snap him tomorrow i then told all my friends about it and asked what i should do they all unanimously said i should activate two-factor verification on my instagram account and then deactivate the account and then block him when i did all that though he didn't take it too well an hour later i got a new snap user blowing up my snap i knew it was him but i opened the snaps anyway it was him again threatening me saying he knows where i live and blocking him was a stupid thing to do i showed it to my parents now because it was getting serious so my dad called the police i didn't block the guy's snapchat yet though and i'm glad i didn't as my parents and i were sitting in the kitchen waiting i got a snap from the guy it was a video i waited a few seconds before opening it it was a video of him sitting in his car in front of our house with the caption don't block me again my dad ran outside in a fit of rage he tried to stop him but he wouldn't but the car wasn't even in front of the house anymore the guy probably waited until driving away before sending that snap i'm just gonna say the police did absolutely nothing they seemed clueless on the matter but there's not much police could do in hacker situations anyway apparently however i did send a snap of the police car back to the guy and put a caption [ __ ] with me again you'll be arrested he opened the snap and immediately blocked me so i'd say it worked this story has a happier ending than most i guess but the amount of info some people can get from you online is absolutely terrifying [Music]
